I graduated!

In keeping with the theme of sharing momentous life events on this message board…

School is done. Forever! And does it feel good! I’ve been ready for this for some time.

New job, new city, all sorts of great stuff coming up.

:D:cool::D:cool::D:cool:

Congratulations! :slight_smile:

It’s a good feeling. How soon until you start working?

Couple of months. I have a trip planned and then a couple weeks to find a place to live in my new town before the job starts.

Yes, I was going to say, enjoy the time off between graduation and starting work. I took a couple of trips to the beach and really lived it up until I decided to buckle down. Now, the weeks seem to just slip by as I rot away in my cubicle.

Make like a cylinder!

… and measure small volumes of liquid?

Congratulations.

And be part of a reciprocating engine?

or

And give a linear force through a linear stroke?

Are you still taking actuarial exams, iwakura? How are those going?

I’m sitting for CAS course 5 this May. It’s getting weird: these upper level exams are so different from the other ones. Hope I figure out how to handle it in time. You?

Congratulations! Enjoy your victory! :slight_smile:

I still need CAS 8. I failed it last May, so I had the fall sitting off and I’m starting to study again for next May.

For my money, the CAS exams were better than the joint exams–more reading and less math. Plus 5, 6, 7, and parts of 9 are actually, like, job-related so you can see some benefit. (8 unfortunately isn’t). But yes, they’re very different and it’s an adjustment at first.

And represent your volume by V = πr²h!

Well done! What was your actual degree?

I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

Our actuarial exam results were released yesterday. We got nine passes from ten attempts in our office - an unheard of success rate. Needless to say, there wasn’t an awful lot of work done for the rest of the day. Lots of champagne got drunk though.
